Karen,
 
The QTP command you want is setsystemval("VARIABLENAME","VALUE")
 
Both the variable name and the value are strings and must be in the quotes, you might need to do some fiddling around because it has to be part of a conditional test and all the examples given in the Powerhouse manuals are in qdesign.
 

SETSYSTEMVAL (MPE/iX, UNIX, and Windows)
For SETSYSTEMVAL (OpenVMS), see (p. 449).
Assigns operating system values.
 
UNIX, Windows
 
TEMP RUN_REQ CHAR*1
...
> PROCEDURE DESIGNER 1
> BEGIN
> ACCEPT RUN_REQ
> IF NOT SETSYSTEMVAL("QTP_PARMS", ("RUN" + RUN_REQ ))
> THEN ERROR "Could not set environment variable"
> ELSE RUN COMMAND "qtp auto=$QTP_PARMS

Hi All,
 
Here is what I would like to do -
 
Run QTP inside a shell loop, if records updated then set a Unix environment variable to some value.  In my shell script, I will check to see if "updated" and quit or loop again.
 
Thoughts?
